Posted on Tue 01 March 2011 in Computer Music
The Focusrite Liquid Channel is a real quality bit of gear, resident in the famous Abbey Road studios, and also, as we are about to discover, one of legendary DJ Carl Cox's favourite pieces of kit! It's a monster interface with 40 (yes, 40!!!) mic pres and 40 classic compressor emulations, and combines analogue with digital technology to deliver an out of this world pristine 192kHz audio signal! There is no wonder that this baby has made it all the way to the top! And the best news for you? It's now ONLY £1499 from Absolute Music! That's a fantastic price for such a feature-rich and quality piece of kit!
CARL COX AND HIS TWO FOCUSRITE LIQUID CHANNELS!
"My Liquid Channels are transparent but warm and big in their sound and, as testament to their quality, our FOH engineer said it was the first time in his career that he didn't need to add any EQ or processing!" remarks Carl Cox, a DJ who needs no introduction.
A pair of Liquid Channel hardware processors acts as the last stage in his chain, before the signal from the stage hits the enormous PA system, whether he’s playing a beach party in Miami, a superclub in Berlin, or a global music festival. "They fit the bill perfectly. They are the solid final link in my audio chain for my live show, something that gives me a sonic edge. EQ, compression, limiting: you just set it and forget it."
Cox is no stranger to the DJ booth, and has picked up numerous accolades in his tremendous career. After picking up his first pair of turntables at age 15, he was the soundtrack to the raves of the late ’80s and early ’90s, pioneering three-deck mixing. He was the first ever winner of DJ Magazine's Top 100 poll in 1997, and he still packs venues worldwide. But he also has serious studio chops, with three albums, countless singles and a glut of remixes to his name.
The definition of the happy customer, Carl's hooked on the Liquid Channel. In his own words: "the Liquid Channels will be rocking the Carl Cox Live Show for some time to come!"
